Hi is there any way to take an exisiting entity pulled from the database, change a few values and insert it as a new row in the database. Kind of like a copy but with new Pkeys.

The only way i have found so far it to create a new entity and set all the values manually which kind of sucks when you have alot of columns.

Any Help appreciated.. Thanks

Clone an entity except for readonly varaibles.

public static IEntity2 Clone(IEntity2 entity) { IEntity2 cloneEntity = (IEntity2)Activator.CreateInstance (entity.GetType());

for(int i=0; i<entity.Fields.Count; ++i)
{                   
    if(!entity.Fields[i].IsReadOnly)
    {
        cloneEntity.Fields[i].CurrentValue = entity.Fields[i].CurrentValue;
    }
}

return accountEnum;

}

Is your second post how you fixed this problem? should return accountEnum; be return cloneEntity;

Clone an entity can be smpler: CustomerEntity c = new CustomerEntity(); c.Fields = (IEntityFields2)((EntityFields2)myCustomer.Fields).Clone();

You then have to set flags and values. In v2 I've planned to add a wrapper for this, so it's easier to clone an entity, as it's an often returning question.
